Firstly, you have a lot of angst to work with. Chill man,
really.
Secondly, you strike me as stereotypical or prone to sweeping
statements at least.
It's good that you like to think for yourself and you have your
strong opinion, but seriously, you are getting it way off
here.
u know, many people have said the same thing to me without
giving me a satisfactory answer.
So what type of answer are you looking for? It wasn't my idea to
have a lng discussion, but you seem to be eager to press me for a
specific answer that you want.
Ok, if you really want an answer about the misintepretation
thing, here's my take. It's a chicken and egg thing, you feel
there's a problem with the bible, I feel there's problem with
person reading the bible. Coz ultimately, it's about the mindset of
the person reading. If the person has intentions to read it out of
context, he will read it out of context. It's like a knife, it can
be used as a tool, it can be used to harm others. Just a simple
analogy, don't think too much into it.
Somehow I feel this is still not the answer you want, because you
have already decided the answer yourself.
just because u r unwilling to question, or see things in another
POV, doesnt mean im not.
Again I think you misunderstand or are making wrong assumptions
about me again.
Erm.... since when was I trying to convert you or anyone else
for that matter? I was just telling you that's how that part of the
scripture wasn't meant to be read like that. Whether you are
Christian or not, if you have the mindset to misintepret, then you
just will.
But to clarify, not once was I trying to convert you or anything.
Please don't misunderstand, just pointing out that one simple thing
to you.
I think you're mixing me up with other people you meet.
last but not least, im a christian. but im one of those who
questions everything, unlike the likes of you.
Again, you make a wrong assumption of me. But whether Christian
or not, I think there's no need to go all hostile just because of
something like that. And start making personal comments on others.
This isn't about religion anymore.....
[quote]seriously, beat it. Seriously dude, you
have some anger issues.
